It goes public gradually: initially the relationship was kept secret.
Then it was communicated, but nothing was seen.
Now the mayor and senator want to go further.
Berlin - Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner and his girlfriend, Education Senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch (both CDU), want to appear publicly as a couple for the first time at a major social event.
On Saturday you will attend the Business Ball of the Association of Berlin Merchants and Industrialists (VBKI).
An announcement from the organizers about the ball said on Thursday: “At 10 p.m. Kai Wegner (governing mayor of Berlin) and his partner Katharina Günther-Wünsch (Berlin Senator for Education, Youth and Family) will be available for a photo opportunity together. “
Wegner will attend the Berlinale awards ceremony before the ball, which begins at 7 p.m., and then later appear at the big celebration with hundreds of guests and many celebrities at the Hotel Intercontinental near the zoo.
In January, Wegner and the Education Senator announced through their lawyer that they had decided to enter into a relationship in the fall of 2023.
So far, there have been no appearances as a couple at major festive events, but there has been a joint visit to a Bundesliga game.
